[0/10] block: incremental backup transactions
It's entirely possible to use the incremental backup primitives to
achieve a differential backup mechanism, but in the interest of
ease of use, I am proposing the explicit addition of the mechanism
because it does not particularly complicate the code, add new edge
cases, or present itself as difficult to test.
This series actually adds two ease of use features:
(1) Add a copy primitive for bitmaps to add flexibility to the
backup system in case users would like to later run multiple
backup chains (weekly vs. monthly or perhaps incremental vs.
differential)
(2) Add a 'differential' backup mode that does what the name says
on the tin.
